We Have, We Need was started by a ragtag group of students at the
University of California, San Diego who were determined to bring disaster relief
into the twenty-first century. Ambitious, student-led, and self-taught, these hackers
built the foundation for We Have, We Need before open-sourcing it. WHWN was built with
the belief that this software should be accessible to anyone who needs it. That's why
WHWN is built on open technologies.
